The Temporal Logic Model Concept

Abstract

This article proposes an alternative program logic model based on the concepts of learning organizations and systems theory. The piece redefines time from a space or duration in which the preset program activities take place, to time as an evolutionary process in which the implementation of the program stimulates learning and adaptation. The latter concept of time was embedded into an alternative logic model, titled Temporal Logic Model. It provides a space for stakeholders to record changes in program context, interim assessments, and program modifications in a format that requires periodic updates. The documentation of how and why the program changes over time should enhance the program’s accountability as well as learning.
